I'm confused. Doesn't the fact that you filed the teeth off and are tying a knot instead of the adjustable wrap negate the entire point of using a Figure 9? Couldn't you do the same thing with a...

Samson has splicing guides on thier website some of which include weaving multi-strand rope but for Amsteel Blue bury the taper is how it's done.

I spooked a beaver with my dog while fishing once... My dog is a 75 lb pit bull mix and the beaver looked bigger. That was my first and only encounter with one (I don't think they're very common...

My handle on the trail is Water Monkey... Last trip I fell into 2 different lakes on 2 consecutive days. Fell in... like all the way. I went by Trail Monkey before that but my buddy felt it had to be...

I do it sometimes, especially when it gets really cold. I used to feel uncomfortable doing this before but I'm used to it now. I do however leave a small space for me to be able to breathe without...

Great pics here. I used to have a lot of tarps but many of them were given to friends or relatives who started enjoying going camping. I'm thinking of getting another one and I'm considering some of...

I visit Shugemery's channel at times. It has a pretty good selection of videos and I learned a lot about hammocks in general from it. I'm new to watching Reallybigmonkey but I can tell that it's...

I take my dog with me sometimes. She's small so her added weight doesn't bother me when she lays next to me in the hammock. She really enjoys going with me when we go camping.

That's a rather ingenious way of making a hammock stand. As long as it's safe and won't give you any discomfort, then go for it. Will you be using the ladder for a long time?

We're going hiking next week with one of our dogs. She's quite small and only weighs a few pounds. This will be her first time though and she hasn't slept in a hammock before unlike with our other...

Others have often asked me why I love using my hammock for sleeping when it looked like it isn't comfortable. So far, I haven't heard of anything insulting or weird. Reading some of the comments here...

I noticed this too, especially when I just started out using hammocks for the first few times. I think it's got to do with the sleeping position as well. I'm more comfortable when I sleep on the bed.

I'm happy for you and your son. It's nice to know that both of you were kept warm all the time and had a good time star gazing. This is one of my favorite hobbies too.

I always make use of an UQ when camping overnight. On cold nights, I make sure I use the UQ too. I made a mistake once and I had difficulties of falling asleep. On summer nights, I find that not...

Thanks for your review on it. I never thought that an outcome like that could happen. There must be a defect on it or something. I'm glad your father-in-law was given a full refund.

You just gave me an excellent idea to work on as well. The use of a fleece or flannel fabric may be good but I think there's the weight issues to work on. Tafetta is a good option though.

I'm starting to make my own pillow so they fit well into my hammock. I'm glad I came across this thread as there are many interesting suggestions I might follow. What I truly want is a versatile...

I have used my sleeping bag uq for few times now. It's effective for me but on very rare occasions. It tends to be ineffective once the temperature becomes really low.

There are times when it's hard for me to sleep easily when I use our hammock. This mostly happens when I didn't get to use the hammock for a longer period of time. Sometimes, I'm used to my big...

I have a small dog who likes to cuddle next to me when I use the hammock. Since she only weighs a few pounds, her weight isn't a problem I'm concerned about. It's her claws that I'm worried about...

Great post; I appreciate it. I hope any future designs can be linked here. I have bookmarked this page. It's pretty easier to compare the different designs this way.

Thanks for your detailed review. This has been one of my choices when I decided to buy another hammock. With your experience on it, it's safe to say that it's worth its price.

I like using my footbox wherever I tend to sleep or take a nap. I move a lot when I sleep. So a footbox also helps in ensuring that my feet are covered up.
